Sometimes back in school something was introduced called bases. There was base 2 or binary. There was base 6 and base 8. The bases may have arisen out of two-legged, 6-legged and 8-legged creatures. In base 6 they introduced Fred, the mathematical fly and the intelligent spider came at base 8.
I wonder what the sums were to achieve. In binary, one could count in ones and zeros. In base six we had digits from 0 to 5 and base eight 0 to 7.

4/8 🙂
Not bad
1 out of 8 right. Bad day
It was a great trial my friend
Fun
Thanks
I got zero, that’s my weakness
There are are always hidden marks for attempting
I go with MommyofEli2013 – no idea what they are.
A subject that was introduced in our schools during my time but it died a natural death
I have to admit I guessed on #4 but I’m 65 years old and haven’t used this stuff in years.
Thank you for attempting. It is fun
3/8
A good trial though
Great 5 out of 8
You know bases my friend. Thanks
Not so, your much welcome
Thanks for stopping over
My pleasure
I don’t know bases…..
I even do not know where they came from. We were taught in the school. Following the results here, it seems other people from other countries learnt too
5 out of 8 – Good quiz!
Thank you. You did fine my buddy
7 out of 8 – although I’m not sure about your answer to ‘In base 8 which number is 100’ – I thought it was 64 – wasn’t a choice…
You are right it is 64. I missed it. Sorry sir
Got 5 🙂
To me that is very good
I only got 3 out of 8 right
At least you got something
I’m satisfied with my 5 correct answers.
That is very good in fact. I agree
